It's been more than long enough, and I've installed a precation or two on Maine's armor in case things go wrong. I'm giving him the armor back as he has proven to my satisfaction that we aren't dealing with the Meta.

Armor lock being ready to activate on command doesn't hurt either. The Brute Shot stays on lockdown though. Come to me if you feel you need the codes and we can talk. And if you know any outsiders that should have this, let me know. Not spreading this widely, as I'd prefer preventing abuse.

Maine, stop by my rooms when you are ready.

Agent Maine is getting his armor returned, with certain safeguards in place.  It's been long enough, he has proven to my satisfaction that the Meta has officially left the castle.

Any objections, I'll hear them out, but I doubt they'll change a thing.

[He growls. He's pretty much done with York's melodramatics.]

[But he did have to ask Wash the same question he asked York.] Why now?

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I owe you, Maine.

And I'd rather not see you dead due to this.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

You owe me?

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I'd really prefer not going into detail on all the things I fucked up. There's a lot.

And apparently, even this is fucking things up.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

[He's just goes quiet. There's not much to say about this, and just made him more wary of trusting Washington in the future.]

[And it wasn't like he could disagree that this current move wasn't making things easier.]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

This just makes me wonder why I even bother trying.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

You owe me. [Part answer, part introspection. Of what he could remember, a lot of it was beating up and intimidating Washington, how could Wash owe him?]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Yes. I owe you.

Washinton

[brute_shot_bully]

Isn't really working. [Giving him back his armor is a nice idea, but it's sort of upsetting the tiny bit of balance that had been achieved. Thinking about it, he's a little torn.]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Looking back, maybe I should have just handed it over and let them think the castle did it. [That my be the alcohol he had before Carolina said knock it off talking]

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

Probably think I stole it. [Bitter. He's been goddamn obedient like a well trained dog and this is what he gets. He snaps his fingers to get his dog's attention and claps his hands to get her to come over. She still needed a suitable name.] Maybe I should leave.

[Get a place in the city where no one can find him. Maybe head out into the dead zone and just rough it. ]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Wouldn't stop York from being an idiot about things, Maine.

[And I don't want you to leave.]

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

Will anything?

[That would make two, with Carolina. An astounding minority.]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

My honest opinion? No.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

Maybe I should leave. [Just reiterating to hear how it sounds.]

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

No. You aren't going anywhere. Bad enough York is being an idiot.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

You sound adamant.

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I am.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

Guess I have no choice.

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Unless you want me to hunt you down and knock sense into you like I want to York? No. You don't.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

You don't have the guts.

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Don't push me, Maine. Don't fucking push me.

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

[Oh, but he does want to push. He's done being good because it hasn't done jack shit apparentlyi.]

Coward. Just like York.

Maine

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I am not a fucking coward.

[He may be a little drunk by this point though. Hard to tell.]

Washington

[brute_shot_bully]

Sound like a coward.
